1 Samuel 12:9

9 Sin embargo, los israelitas pronto se olvidaron del Señor
su Dios, entonces él los entregó a Sísara, el comandante del ejército de Hazor, y también a los filisteos y al rey de Moab, quienes lucharon contra ellos.

1 Samuel 12:9 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 12:9

And when they forgat the Lord their God
The worship of the Lord their God, as the Targum; that is, they fell into idolatry, which is a plain instance and proof of forgetfulness of God; for such that neglect his worship, and serve idols, may be truly said to forget him:

he sold them into the hand of Sisera, captain of the host of Hazor;
who was general of the army of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor, ( Judges 4:2 ) , where they are said to be sold into the hands of Jabin, here into the hands of Sisera; because it is highly probable he was sent against them by Jabin, and subdued them, as he afterwards was sent by him, when they rebelled against him, and were delivered out of his hand:

and into the hand of the Philistines:
as they were in and before the times of Samson, ( Judges 13:1 )

and into the hand of the king of Moab;
as in the times of Ehud, ( Judges 3:14 Judges 3:15 ) , the exact order of these things is not observed:

and they fought against them;
the king of Moab, Sisera, and the Philistines, and overcame them, and so they fell into their hands.

1 Samuel 12:9 In-Context

7 Ahora, permanezcan aquí en silencio delante del Señor
mientras les recuerdo todas las grandes cosas que el Señor
ha hecho por ustedes y por sus antepasados.

8 »Cuando los israelitas estaban
en Egipto y clamaron al Señor
, él envió a Moisés y a Aarón para rescatarlos de Egipto y traerlos a esta tierra.

9 Sin embargo, los israelitas pronto se olvidaron del Señor
su Dios, entonces él los entregó a Sísara, el comandante del ejército de Hazor, y también a los filisteos y al rey de Moab, quienes lucharon contra ellos.

10 »Entonces clamaron al Señor
nuevamente y confesaron: “Hemos pecado al apartarnos del Señor
y al rendir culto a las imágenes de Baal y Astoret. Pero te adoraremos a ti y solo a ti si nos rescatas de nuestros enemigos”.

11 Luego el Señor
envió a Gedeón,
a Bedán,
a Jefté y a Samuel
para salvarlos, y ustedes vivieron a salvo.
